The ethical way to pay for music is to actually buy it from a site like Bandcamp, instead of perpetually renting it from Spotify.[0] Expect to pay about $10 for an album.
Bandcamp usually takes a ~20% cut, but now has regular events where they waive their cut.[1]
It should be clear that $10/mo is not a sustainable price to pay to listen to any and all music ever recorded.
I don't think this will work. I can spend 8 euro for spotify subscription, but if i had to pay for albums, I'll buy maybe two a month, then resort to piracy. I don't think this is very unethical, bc even if there is no piracy, I still won't buy more than two albums. I'll listen to free music on soundcloud and YouTube, fm radio, whatever, but I won't pay more.
